You'd better submit an issue in the bug tracker.

It seems to be a bug in drawActivityMarkers function in ProcessDiagramCanvas class. First parameter seems to be flipped to false/true. It should be true/false as shown below.

if (multiInstanceSequential) {
               drawMultiInstanceMarker(true, x, y, width, height);
      } else if (multiInstanceParallel) {
              drawMultiInstanceMarker(false, x, y, width, height);
      }
